The taxation of trade routes is in dispute and turmoil has engulfed our Republic.

But there is a new hope. We must band together and resist the dark side.

Do or do not. There is no try. #StarWarsDay

If you aren't ready to impeach, then take back Congressional powers Text SIGN PXRIWU to 50409 β€” If you aren't ready to impeach Trump, then please, uphold the constitution. Take back the powers that Trump has been arrogating to himself. And please, restore the constitutionally guaranteed rights that have been removed. I refer to the congressional power of appropriations, the power of the purse; and to the congressional power of setting tariffs. Congressional control of agencies created and funded by Congress derives from the appropriations power. Defend those agencies! Congressional appropriations and tariff powers are enshrined in the Constitution-- the document that both you and every president swears to uphold and defend. Habeas corpus is a fundamental plank of our constitution and legal tradition back to Magna Carta. The illegal disappearings and renditions of immigrants without due process is the affront to the rule of law that marks the rise of a dictatorship. When due process, Habeas corpus, and innocent until proven guilty are snatched away, then no one is safe and the rule of law has been overturned. If you are not yet willing to impeach Trump then please insist on maintaining constitutional order. Take back Congress's powers, insist on Habeas corpus and when the president defies court orders and attacks the judicial system take a stand and take action.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to β€œcrap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

Panic does not solve, it is unchanneled anxiety. Channel it. Take action. Do just 1 thing today to redirect your valid fear, rage, horror into something constructive. Call your reps with @5calls.org or write with @resist.bot. Find a protest or plan to do so 4/19 via @50501movement.bsky.social.

The Social Security Administration Is Gutting Regional Staff and Shifting All Public Communications to X The SSA’s shift to Elon Musk’s X comes as the agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent, WIRED has learned.

You gotta be kidding me. No one should be forced to create an account on X to boost Elon Musk’s numbers just so they can get info about the Social Security benefits they paid for.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots.

The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination.

This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

Did you know you can get more characters in Bluesky (if using Deck.Blue) if you hyperlink your URLs? All you need to use are brackets and parentheses? Pretty cool feature I learned from @debbieohi.com

A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊

Is it relevant that America’s literal origin story is that a people went to war over an unaccountable authority imposing an unreasonable tax on them. (and that tax was an import tax, a tariff)

It seems relevant

WITNESS

Hope laced up her boots
this morning,
grabbed her sign
and marched down Main Streets
from coast to coast,
to drown out every vestige
of despair, distress, and fear
by shouting
louder than loud:
I. AM. HERE.

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

Condemn Trump's abandonment of democratic values, moral leadership Text SIGN PKYAKO to 50409 β€” The Oval Office meeting between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and President Zelenskyy of Ukraine was an embarrassing and damaging episode for America's standing in the world. President Trump's dismissive and disrespectful behavior towards Zelenskyy, a leader fighting against Russian aggression, undermined America's traditional role as a defender of democracy and human rights. Inexcusably he sided with Putin's propaganda points over the well-documented facts presented by Zelenskyy. This has severely tarnished our credibility as an ally on the world stage. This disturbing display made it abundantly clear that this administration has abandoned its commitment to upholding the liberal democratic order and now prioritizes transactional self-interest over moral leadership on the global stage. Urgent recalibration is needed to restore America's standing as a principled nation dedicated to peace through justice, not appeasement of authoritarians. The American people deserve better than having our values so brazenly disregarded in service of an "America Alone" doctrine antithetical to our founding ideals. As my elected official I expect you to condemn the actions of president Trump and Vice President Vance. Your voice needs to be heard loud and clear.
